I'm actually starting to see iced tea as an option in more places, but it's definitely not the norm. There's a tea shop I've been going to a lot lately (one of our nano write-ins is there) and they'll make any of their teas iced. They'll also make any of them a latte which is another tricky thing to find here. I haven't tried an iced tea there yet but I will one day soon I think.
Wow, your first England experience sounds horrific. I'm almost surprised you came back. Was the Dunkin' Donuts at all like what you're used to? I haven't actually been there. London has some very weird food things. I got caught out by the whole Lemonade=sprite thing innitially too. Now I'm used to it and you can find proper lemonade sometimes although often is more bitter than I like.
Bacon here is weird. It's something I frequently forget about until I order something with bacon and I get this wide pink stuff instead of streaky, crispy bacon I'm used to. I love proper bacon so it's always sad making. Thankfully you can buy "american bacon" here and cook it yourself so I do that sometimes and it helps.
